The Woman: Kim Stolz, 30, NYC

The Job: The cycle five America’s Next Top Model contestant is a vice president of sales for the equity derivatives team at Citigroup—and that’s just her day job. By night, Stolz can be found at the Dalloway, a small-plates hot spot she runs with her wife, Lexi Ritsch.

Work and Play

Work and Play

ELLE: Between Citi and the Dalloway, you live quite the double life.

Kim Stolz: It’s an art. I get to work at 6:30 a.m. and I leave at 5:30 p.m. Often I’ll go straight to the Dalloway but continue sending Citi e-mails from there. Finding an outfit that suits both is tough and ends up pushing the limit for both dress codes.

ELLE: How did you transition from Top Model to banking?

KS: I landed on the show after losing a bet—it wasn’t something I was trying to do. I studied foreign policy in college and considered law school. I’ve always been interested in the market, and once I got into finance, I realized I loved being on a trading desk.
